new picture suggestion - NGC 1300

NGC 1300 is a barred spiral galaxy about 61 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. The galaxy is about 110,000 light-years across; just slightly larger than our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

NGC 1300 - next proposition. --Wiklol (talk) 21:21, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

new picture suggestion - Pleiades

[edit]
In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
